The Indian Army has clarified that no air defense guns or military resources were deployed inside the Golden Temple during recent tensions with Pakistan. This statement addresses misinformation and reassures the public and religious communities about the military's respect for the sanctity of the shrine. The Army emphasized that no defensive or offensive military installations were placed within the temple premises. This clarification comes amid reports of Pakistan targeting the Golden Temple with drones and missiles in retaliation to India's Operation Sindoor, which aimed at terrorist sites within Pakistan. The Army confirmed that these attacks were thwarted due to India's air-defense preparedness and cooperation between military and religious authorities. (PC: Conde Nast Traveller India)
